The best steampunk goggles you have ever seen (through)

Yes, this is yet another “Awesome Steampunk Fashion Accessory” post, but this one is extra-splendiferous. Mike Brown’s brass goggles have the leather bolted with tiny precision-engineered rivets to the eyeglasses. The leather itself uses a special tanning process specifically devised for headwear, and the leaf-aperture mechanism is designed to last 500 years.

We need someone to drive down the costs of making these. Now. TRY: MAGNETS, EXTREMELY HIGH VOLTAGE, SYNTHETIC BIOLOGY, AND STEM CELLS. If it works for mad “scientists” in fiction, it might work for you!

They are even better than you say. They are not brass, but made from a billet of light weight titanium “coated with a high tech super ceramic material known as Titanium Nitride. This is what gives them the gold color similar to brass.”
